WHEN
Meeting Thursdays from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm, starting March 27 and continuing on to April 3, April 17th, and finishing on April 24th.
BEFORE CLASS BEGINS
You will need purchase or pick from your stash a fingering weight yarn. The pattern calls for 4 sets of needles. In order to ascertain the correct gauge, which will be determined in the first class, please use 32" size 5 needles to knit a swatch ahead of the first class in a stockinette stitch. It should be at least 4 x 4 inches. Remember to bring your swatch to the first class to determine the correct needle size to yield the correct size sweater. You will learn to read a pattern, knit in the round, increase 2 ways, decrease, divide for sleeves and pick up stitches to create a neckband.
COST
$120 - covers the class instruction only
You will be responsible for supplying your materials for class. We will be offering 15% off to class attendees for any class materials they purchase in Salty Yarns.
